Happy Birthday Punk

Our favorite (only!) punk nephew turned two last week.  As the auntarazzi, I brought my camera along and took some pictures of said punk kid and his cousins.  

Deep down, he's really excited that it's his birthday.

Here's his cousin J.

Birthday dude was a little tired.

He was VERY excited when he opened this one.  "Oh!" He exclaimed.

M., another of Punk's cousins.

N. had the job of ferrying gifts to the table.

labor day - hang time

labor day weekend around here means one thing.  we get the privilege of spending a whole day with my favorite punk kid in the world.  frank doesn't spend a whole lotta time with kids.  this weekend was a huge landmark.  he almost changed his first diaper, at least he got to the point where he had the diaper between punk's legs - while punk ran around tooting gleefully.  made me laugh hard.  frank and the punk had a ton of fun together, everything from mowing the lawn with the maow maow, to rock throwing, to picking up fire wood.  it was a great day!

I love this kid

He is so freaking cute.

Interesting, this isn't as "soft" as the original.

The miracle of computers

I love black and white photography, but sometimes the shot just looks better in color. I always shoot in color then edit to a higher contrast black and white. And sometimes upping the saturation just makes the color photo look better.

Photo shoot with the world's cutest toddler!

Random Update

No new pictures to show of the land today - just some random shots of what's going on in our lives. Other than work, we do a lot of that!

We love Storm!

I shot Chris and Katie's wedding in June

Tommy's graduation party was the Sunday after he graduated.
Somehow mom caught the grill on fire...

So we gave the charburgers to Foxy

Who immediately took it and buried it out back. Maybe a few months from now it'll taste better!

And more new pictures

Finally, spring comes to the North Country. We've been able to get a lot of clearing done.

Matt's done a ton of work in the past few weeks.

The driveway will wind through the woods and emerge between these bushes.

Matt and our nephew, Storm.
